The condition of painting's physical flatness. In most paintings from the Renaissance to the mid-19th century, the goal of painting was to create a believable illusion of space that hides the literal physical flatness of the painting. In much modern art, the goal of a painting is to develop, instead of hide, its flatness
Term
Medium-Specificity
Definition
Associated with the American art critic Clement Greenberg' medium-specificity is the pursuit of essential characteristics of the artistic medium. Greenberg defines the essential characteristics of painting as the flatness of the canvas and the rectangular shape of the canvas. Greenberg wrote that painting should be painting and nothing else and described Jackson Pollock's paintings as pure surface.
Term
